No need to repost any of the other tasks in post 803. They have been recorded. Thanks!

How does Zipper fit option A?"
Oh, my word. I was going to be so good this season and not make you send me one of these little love letters! Sorry.
the word Zipper is in Line 7 of the song and it is a nonfiction book.
Do you need a repost?

Thanks, Donna Jo. I got it, no need to repost.
Bluemoon -- post 855Task 20.5 -- I'm not sure The Maid going to work. The task specifies the Army, not an army. To me, that says the US Army, but maybe not. If you ask about the book in the task help thread and get it approved, just repost and let me know it's approved.

I'm sorry it wasn't properly phrased, but I meant any army, not just the US Army. Sorry for that! Bluemoon's choice was correct, The Maid works.
Do I need to repost in the Completed task thread?
Bluemoon wrote: "Do I need to repost in the Completed task thread?"No need to repost, Bluemoon. Got it. Thanks for answering here, Masanobu!! It keeps me from having to track down the answer ;-).
Beth -- post 880There are several Beths in the challenge. Please repost the tasks in post 880 in the completed task thread with your Readerboard name at the top of your post.
Tani -- post 884Task 20.3 -- REQUIRED: Include the song title you used in your post.
Please repost with the required information.
Jennifer N -- post 898You've already claimed task 20.6 on March 26. The total I have up to post 898 is 265 instead of 285.
Hey Kristi, I think you missed my 10 point post#859. Your records show me as having 275 points through post 900, but mine say 285. In post #859 I claimed points for task 10.9. Can you please check on this for me?
Thanks.
Hi, Kristi! I hate to bother you, but according to my records, I've claimed 470 points rather than 450. I'm going to list out what I've claimed so far:5.2, 5.4, 5.5, 5.8, 5.9 = 25 points
10.1, 10.3, 10.5, 10.6, 10.8, 10.9, 10.10 = 70 points
15.2, 15.3, 15.4, 15.5, 15.8, 15.9 = 90 points
20.1, 20.2, 20.3, 20.4, 20.5, 20.6, 20.7, 20.8, 20.9, 20.10 = 200 points
25.2 = 25 points
30.3, 30.6 = 60 points
Unless my math is completely wrong, this adds up to 470. Did I perhaps forget to post something? Thanks so much for your help!
Hi Dlmrose, by my count, I should have had two GR authors by post 900. Here they are with the links to the posts.Post 274: Margaret Atwood
Post 636: Mignon Fogarty

Fixed! Thanks. I skipped over task 20.4. So your total should be corrected in the next update.
Marie-anne -- post 908, 909, and 910You need to set up a Readerboard name in the READERBOARD NAMES - Read Posts # 1 & 2 thread before claiming points. After your Readerboard name is set up, please repost any tasks you've claimed with your Readerboard name at the top of your post. Thanks!
Mariya - post 913The Little Prince is less than 100 pages. The challenge rules state:
All tasks require reading at least 100 pages unless otherwise stated in a specific task. It is okay to read two or more books to meet minimum page requirements (plays, poetry, etc.).
One book between 80 -100 pages may be used for one 5 point task.

Please repost with the required information.

Hello Kristi,I just took a look at the readerboard and although my points add up (through post 950), I didn't see any of my big book ticket items on there.
I should have 2 (posts 631 and 948).
Thanks :)

No problem! :)
Rachel CA - post 983Task 5.5 requires a book with a word in the possessive form (i.e. something with an 's).
ETA: Never mind, Rachel CA! I wasn't even thinking about possessive pronouns like "My." I'll fix your points and they'll show up in the next update. Sorry about that!
Isabell - post 984Task 30.7 - Die Wächterin. Das Geheimnis der Hildegard von Bingen links to an audiobook with no other formats available. I need pages numbers for verification purposes. Do you have another link to the book?
Kylie - post 987Task 20.10 - requires that you make at least one post in the discussion thread for the book. Please repost the task when this has been done to get credit for it.
Karen OZ - post 989Task 15.2 requires that you read two nonfiction books. Paradise Lost is fiction.
Also, please post your tasks in numerical order from smallest to largest. It makes record keeping much, much easier. Thank you!

I didn't realize there was no paper book edition on GR. WorldCat has a paperback edition listed with 354 pages: WorldCat page for book.
Should I repost with the information? Sorry for the inconvenience.
Eta: I found that exact same edition in the database after I searched for ISBN the author had a strange character in the name that made it tricky to find. It's now combined with the audiobook.
Nicola - post 1042Task 15.6 - Sheltering Hearts is not long enough to use by itself. It must be used in combination with another book to bring it up to 100+ pages.
Susan - post 1043Task 30.3, option 6 - REQUIRED: Explain how your book is “scary” and makes you jump.
Please repost this task with the required information.
Heather KS - post 1069Task 25.9, option A - requires that the book have a 2 and a 3 in the page total. Defending Jacob will not work.
Audiaa - post 1071Task 20.3 - REQUIRED: Include the song title you used in your post. Please repost with the required information.
Task 30.7 - you're going to need to link to the specific Fifty Shades of Grey you've read that has a 6 or 7 as last page number. I don't see one that has 356 pages listed.
Heather KS - post 1073Task 30.3, option 1 -- This task states that the photo must have edges, a frame, etc. showing that it's a photo. If you look at the books approved for option 1 of this task, I think you'll find that the photo on Raising Great Kids - Parenting with Grace and Truth doesn't really apply.
Hi Kristi! Could I use option 4 for 30.3 for Raising Great Kids? Tulips? Two lips?Thanks!
Heather in KS
Also, I have reposted 25.9 using that book in another option. Thanks!Heather in KS

Thanks, Isabell. I got it. No need to repost.

Heather in KS"
That'll work! I've added that task to the spreadsheet. Your points will show up in the next update. Thanks!
ETA: See message 144 below... maybe the book will work for one of the nonfiction tasks instead..
Kristi- I have a question.30.3- Option 4 was meant for Only Two People on the cover. Did I write it incorrectly somehow? It could be the way I wrote it. But I had meant only two people on the cover. I sure want to be clear when anyone asks me.
thanks

Whoops! No, you didn't write it incorrectly, Kathy! I was just reading quickly. You're right, it clearly says 2 people. Thanks for letting me know so quickly!
Heather -- maybe it would work for one of the nonfiction tasks?
Thanks so much Kristi---I was sure doubting myself.
:-)
Kristi, I think my total is wrong. On post 790, it was 135.Up to that point, I had claimed points for:
5.3, 5.8, 5.10 = 15
15.9 = 15
20.1, 20.4, 20.6, 20.8 = 80
25.10 = 25
15 + 15 + 80 + 25 = 135.
The Readerboard shows me as having 140 points.

Thanks, Bea! I found the mistake and have fixed it.

OK - sorry about that. I need to remember to look at page count on my e-books
Argh! That's what I get for just reading quickly and not looking at my cover! That is also what I get for procrastinating and posting quickly. I will find somewhere for it. Thanks for your patience!So I have in my spreadsheet that I have 105 points then. Is that what you have? Thank you!
